$3.4M road project to begin

LOWELL -- The Lowell Connector will be repaved, and drainage structures and pavement markings will be cleaned and replaced in a $3.4 million project expected to last to the end of June.

The work will be done mostly during overnight hours "to minimize the impact on the traveling public and local communities," according to the the Department of Transportation.

Some parts of the work will be done during the day, but only during "off-peak" times. Some short-term lane closures will be necessary, according to a press release.

Workers will remove the current surface of the road and replace it with new paving. They will also clean, repair and adjust drainage structures, replace pavement markers, and install new rumble strips on the side of the travel lanes, according to a press release.

The DOT asks drivers traveling through the area to be mindful of the potential for delays and to slow down in construction zones.
